When a former employee is threatened with a lawsuit by her old employer before joining a competitor, the competitor won't, in most situations, handle the cost of litigating the dispute (Mr. Papermaster excepted). As a result, the old employer can get away with enforcing a legally dubious contract because the employee will probably be intimidated by the lawyers and the costs involved.

You destroy your quarter and silently layoff thousands. Grow a pair and tell everyone the truth: You made a shit load of money, you gave a rosy guidance and now it's time to layoff in North America and move jobs to South America. They say the American public is morally bankrupt.. I say the American Multi-Nationals are morally bankrupt - with IBM leading the charge. Oh IBM, you make me smile.
